این ازینجا گوید آن خباز را ** این عمر را نان فروش ای نانبا 3225
This (baker) says, (speaking) from this place (shop) to that (other) baker, “O baker, sell bread to this ‘Umar”;
چون شنید او هم عمر نان در کشید ** پس فرستادت به دکان بعید
And he too, on hearing (the name) ‘Umar, withholds bread (from you) and sends (you) to a shop some way off,
کین عمر را نان ده ای انباز من ** راز یعنی فهم کن ز آواز من
Saying, “Give bread to this ‘Umar, O my partner,” i.e. “apprehend the secret (my real meaning) from (the tone of) my voice.”
او همت زان سو حواله می‌کند ** هین عمر آمد که تا بر نان زند
He also will pass you on from there (to another baker), (saying to him), “Hark, ‘Umar is come to get some bread.”
چون به یک دکان عمر بودی برو ** در همه کاشان ز نان محروم شو
When you have been ‘Umar in one shop, go (your way) and do not expect to obtain bread in all Káshán.
ور به یک دکان علی گفتی بگیر ** نان ازینجا بی‌حواله و بی‌زحیر 3230
But if you have said in one shop, “(I am) ‘Alí,” (then you may) obtain bread from this place (shop) without being passed on (to another shop) and without trouble.
احول دو بین چو بی‌بر شد ز نوش ** احول ده بینی ای مادر فروش
Since the squinter who sees two (instead of one) is deprived of the enjoyment of delicious food, (your case is worse, for) you are seeing ten, O you who would sell your mother!
اندرین کاشان خاک از احولی ** چون عمر می‌گرد چو نبوی علی
Because of seeing double, wander (to and fro) like ‘Umar in this Káshán of earth, since you are not ‘Alí.
هست احول را درین ویرانه دیر ** گوشه گوشه نقل نو ای ثم خیر
In this ruined monastery the man who sees double is (continually) removing from one nook to another, O (you who say to yourself), “The good (which I seek) is (to be found) there.”
ور دو چشم حق‌شناس آمد ترا ** دوست پر بین عرصه‌ی هر دو سرا
But if you get two eyes that can recognise God, (you will) see (that) the (entire) expanse of both worlds (is) full of the Beloved,
